You know, there are people in your life that can get cut down by one unkind comment. All the nice things they have heard about themselves suddenly take a back seat to that one negative comment. I created this card to bring some cheer to someone like that.
This card is made from a 12X12 piece of cardstock, so it is really big. I wanted lots of room for people to write positive and encouraging comments inside.
I used some fabulous papers by Paper Pizazz – Sara Papers. The top panel is embossed with the Sizzix Bricked folder and the bottom panel is embossed with the Cuttlebug Paisley folder and the edges distressed and sponged. The sentiment is computer generated. I used another piece of the designer paper as my image panel, stamping the watches using Vintage Photo distress ink. I masked the largest one before stamping the smaller ones. They are also clear embossed for a little more definition and brads added. I then cut/embossed the image panel using a Spellbinders die and mounting onto a piece of vanilla linen card stock which is sponged with Vintage Photo Ink, Walnut Stain Ink and Pumice Stone and brads added to the corners before popping it up.
